Project Description

A gulf coast chemical manufacturing plant had complaints of a “rotten fish odor” that was coming from some of its chemical storage tanks. The chemical being stored was 1,3,5-Trimethylhexahydro-1,3,5-Triazine.

Monroe Environmental thoroughly reviewed the relevant process information and chemical MSDS sheets and recommended a packed tower scrubber to control the odorous fumes. The scrubber would operate with a specially designed media irrigated with a dilute solution of water and 93-95% sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to absorb and neutralize the amine odors.
